About this study

Official title: The Effects of Teriparatide on Bone Microarchitecture as Determined by High Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Digital Topological Analysis

The purpose of this study is to use imaging technologies to demonstrate the effects of teriparatide on bone structure following 18 to 24 months of therapy in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Read the detailed description

As teriparatide is approved for up to 24 months of treatment in the US, patients will be given the option to continue in a 6-month extension phase upon completion of 18 months of teriparatide treatment. This extension will allow for collection of additional bone quality data. In Canada, the use of teriparatide is currently approved for 18 months. Patients in Canada may be given the opportunity to participate in the 6-month extension phase, contingent upon Health Canada approval of the use of teriparatide treatment for 24 months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Surface-to-Curve Ratio (SCR) in the Distal Radius at Month 18 Endpoint

    SCR is a measure of the computed ratio of plate-like to rod-like structures in a given volume of trabecular bone and reflects the integrity of the trabecular network. The higher the value for SCR, the more intact the trabecular network. Least squares (LS) mean of the percent change from baseline to 18 months is from a mixed model repeated measurements analysis. The model included terms for investigator site, prior bisphosphonate use, visit and baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing teriparatide in people with Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 6 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Nov 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percent Change From Baseline in Surface-to-Curve Ratio (SCR) in the Distal Radius at Month 18 Endpoint (time frame: Baseline, 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Nov 2011.
